Our church council continues to support this difficult decision, that we suspend services and all church gatherings until further notice. We feel it is in the best interest of our church community and greater community if we do not risk spreading this virus. Check our Facebook page for live-streamed content from our church services: www.facebook.com/FCCSLC. We also plan to announce joys and concerns, and you may send any joys or concerns to the church or Diane Forster Burke.
As the Covid vaccines become more-widely distributed, it is hoped that in-person worship can be contemplated in our near future. By the end of March, most of our congregation will likely have received the “jab,” allowing re-evaluation of worship in the sanctuary. As the situation evolves, we will continue to seek and follow the advice of our Parish Nurses, who are closely monitoring health directives and recommendations.
